Since its initial formulation in 1996 [1]}, the relational interpretation has evolved. It is not yet a fixed dogma, but still a living flow of ideas stemming from the same initial corpus, and trying to merge into a consistent common vision of the world. Many questions certainly remain to be answered [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]}. The objections which have been formulated against it mainly arise from the unfortunate mixture between standard quantum mechanical conceptions and relational statements. This confusion can be partly explained by the use of the same mathematical formalism, so that the relational interpretation distinguishes itself from others only on the level of the interpretation of the formalism.
